Travelled 30/40 times between the airport and Calvia never a problem,never over charged.Taxi company should weed out bad drivers( passenger needs to complain) M A. Costa de la Calma
S. Maybe you could tell the government how many hire cars there are on the Island as they dont know!
They should double the amount of buses to the train/bus station at Palma and introduce minibuses to places like Soller as required on a bus fare system. Do the taxis out of business.
Legalise Uber!! Give them some real competition so that their prices can become realistic.
No Taxi service ?. Ok , hire a car ( There are thousands of Hire Cars on the Island ). If you have friends on the Island ,ask them to collect you at the Airport. Snr. Pons is totally correct . A constant supply of EMT Buses to The Intermodal Bus/Train station, would be most welcome ALL the time. Not just when Taxi Drivers are on Strike. Taxis will earn no money, or rip offs, when On Strike.
